In the seminar, Prof. Fung raised the concern that young people are “revolutionary”. In mainland China, young people’s lives are shaped by their family, their education, and the Communist Party. This is proven by arranged marriages, long school hours, and the increasing proportion of young party members. Although the lives of Hong Kong teenagers are also influenced by family and education, their use of social media determines the differences between the young people in the two places. Social media is the major source of news and entertainment for Hong Kong teenagers, and also affects their attitude towards society. Both societies have developed solutions to manage youth culture. About thirty scholars, researchers, and students attended the seminar.
